Dis Urhobo man above me dey "digue" (greet) money

No "sauce"? And we know say those figures you put for the cars na brand new. But d guy no buy those cars tear rubber

LordAdam:
Agreed. The blacks in general are still underlings of the white man. So in Asa's voice, "the you-know-who are still jail occupants."

I have a duty to my descendants to preserve the heritage left to me by my ancestors. That heritage is the identity of the Isoko people that will not be sacrificed for any reason.

Let's be real here. Prior to Awolowo's excision of Isoko from Urhobo, both were one indistinguishable, indisoluble entity. All this assertion today is purely political. Its like when a kid tastes freedom. It is very exhilarating. Before Awo's shenanigans did d both not live intertwined as a unit?

As for pledging allegiance to the Oba, ALL Urhobo and Isoko Kings pledge their allegiance to him. They get their crowns from/through him

LordAdam:
That is not your call to make. I cannot accept your unintelligent consensus because of your myopic tendencies. The Yoruba people had a very inclusive past. They have a rich heritage in the Old Oyo empire that at a point extended to present Benin Republic. They accept they are Yoruba because their unity has been entrenched by a firm monarchy.

It is very different in the Urhobo and Isoko sense. Both groups were not lorded over by the Bini empire. The ancestors of the Isoko people left the old Bini empire because of the negative shenanigans of the Bini empire. It will be foolhardy and equivalent to me spitting on their graves to swallow their vomits. Bini-ness or whatever you call it does not exist.

I will never plead allegiance to the Bini monarch. It is equivalent to Americans pleading allegiance to the British Queen. We only accept our past heritage and leave it as that.

Your are free to wallow in whatever it is you choose. No matter how large Isoko becomes they are Still the underlings of you-know-who

And you should know too that I am not a tribalistic person! I am even related to Isoko and Igbo through extended family. I just love facts being sacrosanct and this fact that has become the nucleus of our altercation here is sacrosanct and I'd never give up easily on it. Isoko may be seen as ethnically different and I do not object to that! After all, many Igboid groups are ethnically different! However, arguing on the grounds of culture and/or language is a fallacy that I'd keep correcting! Just because a people speak a shared language differently does not mean they are different! They may claim to be different in exercising their human and collective rights but when it comes to intellectual facts such as this, we must be careful to tell the truth for posterity sake! This is not about supremacy! Urhobo is a minority group and no amount of supremacy can change that fact! That fact is sacrosanct! So also with this fact; Isoko is culturally and linguistically Urhoboid. You want proof? Here are some:
1. The Ovie System
2. The Amity System
3. Greetings
4. Age-Grade System
5. Lexical Items, Morphology and Syntax of Languages
6. The common Cosmological views viz; Orhan, Ancestral Worship, Oghene, Igbe Dance Religion, Ebo, etc
7.Dressing and the fashion of royalty
8. Chieftancy system and the same prime ministerial appellation(Otota) and function
9. Same village quarter division and appellation format
10. Same use of boundary markers via the Oghriki groove
11. Common mythologies such as that of Aziza
12. Same cuisine; Usi and Owho
13. Same Names. i.e. Efe, Iroro, Eta, Okpako, Edafe, etc
14. Same cultural indicators at social functions and gatherings
15. Same facial markers

I can go on and on but I have made my point from the anthropological perspective!!! Whatever you will say to negate this must be done with facts! Facts are sacrosanct!

LordAm, I think it's a shame when Isoko, Uvwie, Okpe try to assert their so-called independence from mainstream Urhobo. Prior to Awolowo playing his divisive politics Urhobo and Isoko were one inseparable entity. Look at d Yorubas! From Kwara down to Lagos, Ogun westward to Ondo they DO NOT speak one homogeneous language. Heck I claim to understand yoruba but when an Ijebu man is speaking I cannot understand him. Despite the huge dialectical differences you will NEVER hear an Ijebu man say he isn't Yoruba. Or a Kwara yoruba deny his yorubaness. That way the Yoruba can say they are 60m in Nigeria and have the numbers.

As far as I'm concerned, ALL Edoid languages should assert their Bini ness. While I'm Bini (paternally) for all intents and purposes I'm an Urhobo cos that's were my mum's from. Not just any Urhobo but Aragba Orogun where dey switch from Ukwani to Urhobo as though its the same language. I have absolutely no qualms been called any of the three.

For corporate bodies and multinationals, how is their account handled vis-a-vis this BVN? Will companies like BAT or CHEVRON do BVN?

Also what happens when foreigners come in to d country say for a holiday and want to buy forex or something. How are they gonna get their BVN?

IGBOPRINCE:
pls which of the edo languages the urhobo re similar with? Cos the last time I travelled to edo state. I was marvelled at the existence of many languages in edo state.
The auchi,the esan, the okada, the oredos, the akoko edos and the binis. Pls I respects your comments but I need to know the particular language that s similar to that of urhobo at bolded.

I stand to be corrected, I think it's closer to Esan. But an Urhobo will identify Bini language when spoken without even understanding a word of what is been said

bigfrancis21:
This thread is supposed to be for Igbo and Yoruba words, and influences thereof, found in Urhobo and not a supposed Urhobo language learning thread. If I am wrong, re-read the title of the thread again to understand what it is actually for.

And the several derailing? Arguments about which word is yoruba or Igbo? Or which part of Urhobo is Igbo or not?

Bigfrancis21, I think we've had enough of the derailing of the thread via this proxy war. Enough is enough. There are loads of Urhobo people who never grew up at home and can't speak the language. This thread is to help them at least learn some words not for yoruba and igbos to come and start claiming superiority.

IlekeHD:
It'd really surprise me if Urhobo and Itsekiris don't stay with an Odu'a republic.

Itsekiri will go with Odua. Never the Urhobo, not after Awolowo did to them. And it's a shame that this thread has condescend to a proxy war between the Yoruba and the Igbo. Big big shame

Ofklaw:
I am an Urhobo boy, i speak urhobo fluently. . Beans in Urhobo is ISHA, i have never called beans EWA..

Osho muvwe o oniovo! I cun tink say maybe na some dialect dey call am ewa. Na isha eg ogwoevwrisha na I know say onimerode dey call am

fratermathy:
Goodboiy is right. Apart from Okpara which is the name of a village, the other terms are appellations whose meanings are lost to history. They are probably borrowed names. There is nothing peculiarly Urhoboic about them.

What do you call the oldest man in a village in Urhobo? It's called Okpara which is the same with the Igbos. This is what DikeOha882 is looking to hear

faroukfahima:
The CIAPS Governors Performance Index (CGPI) has listed Nigeria's best performing governors since they were sworn into office.

According to the Index, Governor Nasir El-Rufai is the country's best performing governor.

Nasir El-rufai of Kaduna - 72%
Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto - 64%
Adams Oshiomhole of Edo - 62%
Willie Obiano of Anambra - 62%
Akinwumi Ambode of Lagos - 58%
Sani Bello of Niger - 58%
Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe - 54%

The CGPI coordinator, Mr Olumuyiwa Ayoola explained that the variables used as indexes for performance were mathematically calculated and this month’s variables included “Payment of Salary, New Projects, Education, Security and Leadership by example”.

http://www.forumspotz.ng/list-of-nigerias-best-performing-governors-since-their-may-29-inauguration/

Na wa! Campaign for 2019 don start. These two Ab0k! men have gone and paid for this propaganda. How can leadership by example be quantified? El-tufia fogerrit u cannot rule Nigeria

*modified*
So the plan is to pair Oshiomole (as vice) with either of those two eediots in 2019. Given that both of them are former PDP men where is Amaechi gonna run? ATM again? #FearNorth

Based on education and salary payment obiano beat craze commot everyone there. And what is ambode doing dia? Is this a fashion parade or nightclub?

Craigston:
If you know more on that area, it will be more noble to help the OP. He asked for help on something worthwhile: wouldn't you contribute heartily to your linux community? Remember, Linux itself is a product of altruism. It's open-source and benefits greatly from that.
I don't know the OP's level of comfort with linux, but if he's comfortable with the windows command line or powershell, he can take more risks with linux.

OP, if you are in PH and need help getting started with Linux, you can contact me. I'll walk you through to the level of a regular user. From there, you can't really get lost.

Reckless! You don't just start mentioning the names of tools here! I'm in email communications with him and you just come out firing blindly. Its just like someone saying I want to learn how to make a bomb for the Nigerian Army. Are you just gonna tell him how to make a bomb when we have terrorists all around? Jeez, thus is why a lot of you script kiddies run into trouble. So when he runs metasploit live on d Internet cus he hasn't got a controlled lab you gonna be smiling kikiki

No model, no spec, no manufacturer and you want help. I can help you if u smash d phone on the ground

ernie1234:
I tried First Bank, Zenith, Fidelity, GTB all the same instruction.............issuer card inoperative

Snap ur card(protecting your privacy of course), snap d first Bank ATM machine and it's response then tweet to their twitter account. Include the pics and d location

ernie1234:
First Bank ohhhh.... I just can't plan now or do anything

And you are using a first Bank ATM machine?

ernie1234:
Hello Guys,
I am finding it difficult in the whole of Agege to use my First Bank ATM to make withdrawals. First Bank ATM is saying Issuer or In Operative or Contact your Financial Institution since the early hours of 9am.
This has caused serious setback in my baby dedication tomorrow because all monies for expenses has been trapped.
Why must we continue to suffer under the hands of our own indigenous Banks. While taking us for granted and making profit with our hard earned monies and having a system that cannot regulate and sanction.
Its so frustrating in this Nation called Nigeria

What Bank issued your ATM?
